Commodore Dewey'a aiders were to Ware or destroy the Spanish fleet, bd sever were instructions executed w complete fashion. At the end of sen hours there waa absolutely khlag left of the Spanish fleet bat a Iw relics. The American commander kd most skillfully arranged every de- 111 af the action, and earen the an krently most insignificant featnres are tarried out with perfect punctual- r ana in ratvoaa umeiaoie order. r . . .

Not a man on board the American M was killed, not a ship waa dam- ted to any extent, and only six him aitimore. The American fleet entered Manila a on Saturday night with the e-reat- a of ease. The Snaniarda had not habllshed a patrol, and there were searchlights at the entrance the In fact the American shin paid probably have passed inside tho w without any challenge had It not fe mat some sparks flew from the pCalloch't funnel.

Though the Spaniards had opened Are at 1,000 yards, the Amerlcaaa re served their fire until within 4.000 yards of the enemy, whea the real battle began. The Reina Christina, CasUlla, Doe Antonio Ulloa, Isla de Cuba, Isla da Luxon and the Mindanao were In line of battle ouUide of Cavlte at that tune, wltbfour gunboats and the torpedo boats inside the harbor. The American ships then passed back wards aad forwards six times across the front of the 8paatards, pouring In upon the latter a perfect hall of shot and shell. Every American shot seem ed to tell, while almost every Spanish ahot missed the mark. After having thas scattered death and demoralitatloa among the Spanish fleet and the Soaniah haltariM eh American fleet retired for breakfast. and Incidentally a council of war was heH on board the Olympla. By this time the Spanish ships were la a desperate condition. The flagship Reina Christina waa riddled with ahot and shell, one of her steam pipes had burst and she was believed to be on tire. The Castllla waa certainly on Are, and boob afterward their condition became worse and worse, until they were eventually burned to the water's edge. The Doa Antonio we Ulloa made a most magnificent show of desperate bravery. When her commander found she waa so torn by the American shells that ho could not keep her afloat he nailed ber colors to the mast aad ahe sank with all hands lighting to the last Her hull waa completely rid dled and her uppper deck had been swept dean by the awful fire of the Amerioaa guns, but the Spaniards, though their vessels were sinking be neath tbem, continued working the guns on her lower deck until she sank beneath the waters. During the engagement a Spanish torpedo boat crept along the shore and round the offing In an attempt to at tack the American ships, but she was promptly discovered, was driven ashore and was actually shot to pieces. The battle, which was started at about 1:30 a. m. and adjourned at 8:30 a. m, was resumed about noon, when Commodore Dewey started in to put the finishing touches of his glorious work. There was not much light left In the Spaniards by this time, and at 2 p. in. the Petrel and Concord had shot the Cavlte batteries into silence The Spanish gunboats were then scuttled, the arsenal was en Are, and tho explosion of a Spanish magazine caused further mortality among the defenders of Spain on shore. . Only . the cruiser Baltimore - ad suffered in anyway from the Are of the enemy. A shot which strack her ex ploded some ammunition near one of her guns and slightly injured half a dosen of the crew. The wounded sailors are: Lieutenant Frank Woodruff Kellogg, Ensign Noble Irwin, Cox swain John Buddinger, Landsman Robert L. Bartow, Coxswain Edward Snelgrove, Coxswain William O'Keefe and Seamen Richard P. Covert and Rosarlo Ricclardelli. Qa the other hand, about ISO men are aaid to have been killed on board the Spanish flagship, which was to tally destroyed. Admiral Montejo, the Spanish commander, transferred his flag to the Isla de Cuba when his ship caught fire, but the latter was de stroyed also in due course of time. The Reina Christina lost ber captain, a lieutenant, her chaplain and a mid shipman by one shot wulch struck her bridge. About 100 were allied and 0 wound ed on board the Castllla. Indeed, some estimates place the number of Spanish wounded during the engagement at over a thousand mc-n. The Olympla was struck Ave times about her upper works, and a whale boat of the Raleigh was smashed. Al though the Krupp gens on the Esplan ade of Manila were fired continuously during the engagement. Commodore Dewey did not reply to them, and the battery afterward hoisted a white flag in token of surrender. The forts at the entrance of the bay were dismantled on Wednesday, after they had capitulated. A GRATEFUL NATION Will Honor Dowry and the Otlier llrrooa of Manila. ' Washington, May 10. Fitting tribute was paid by the senate yesterday to Commodore Dewey for the magnificent victory he achieved In the battle of Manila bay. A message from the presi dent waa received recommending that a vote of thanks be extended bv con gress to Commodore Dewey and the gallant officers and men of his com mand. Without a word of debate and without a dissenting voice the senate agreed to the resolution carrying Jnto effect the recommendation of the presi dent. The senate went farther even than that A bill was presented Increasing the number of rear admirals in the navy from six to seven. In order that the president might nominate Commo dore Dewey to the highest position in the navy within his gift, and that too, was passed without dissent In addi tion a Joint resolution was unanimously agreed to directing the secretary of the navy to. present to .Commodore Dewey a sword of honor and to have struck, In commemoration of the bat tle of Manila, a bronse medal for each of the officers and men who partici pated in the gallant fight The resolu tion appropriates 110,000 to enable the secretary to carry Its provisions Into effect The house speedily passed the above measures without debate, as . well as the senate bill authorising our army to tlstrlbute food la Cuba. .

May ICTaere Is the best aathorlty for the statement that the navy department does not expect to hear from Admiral Sampson within several days. The authority for this statement la fully x acquainted with Admiral Sampson's plana, and the re mark would seem to Indicate that the admiral, having failed' to And the enemy at the place expected, had turn ed hla atteatlon to the alternative pro ject What this la cannot be ascertain ed. It la evident however, that the department Is .under no apprehension as to the safety of the American fleet nor of any vessel of the fleet. The war department yesterday Issued orders showing where the various state volunteer organisations are to be con centrated. The order Is thousht to warrant the assumption that the de partment contemplates a speedy move meat of the United States military forree upon Cuba, and in much greater force than waa originally planned. It Is the expectation that the firs: regiments organised and reported from, the states will be sent to Chattanooga, thence going to Cuba via Mobile, Tampa, New Orleans and Galveston, tor expeditions will be dispatched from each of these ports. Probably about one-third of the entire levy called for by the president, or about 40,000 troops, will constitute the force to be sent south to take part In the first Cuban service, following the regular army forces. These troops will be the first to receive their equipment The second contingent. Including six regiments and two troops of New York volunteers, are assigned to duty under command of the department of the east, commanding coast defenses and reserves, which probably will result in their employment In New York harbor and along the shores et Long Island sound. In the case of Pennsylvania Ave regiments, two battalions and two troops are also aaalgned to duty In the department of the east, which will place them along tbe shores of the Delaware bay and river as coast sruard to protect the Important shipping In terests of that section. When these are equipped the govern ment will turn Its attention to the third flans, comprising the last third f the Ud.OOO volunteers called for. It is the alncere hope of the war department that it will not be called upon to fully equip these troops before hostilities are at an end. It may be remarked, by the way, that out of the Arst clans will come the troops which will be sent to the Philippine Islands. ARMS FOR. INSURGENTS. Onr Govern rawnt tteiia'na Cargo of War Material to Cubaiut. Tampa, Fit, May 10. The steamer Gussle, ono of the Mallory line of boats chartered by the government for use as a transport sailed ftir Cuba at mid night loaded with arms, ammunition and supplies furnished by the United States government for the use of tlw Cuban insurgents. A company of 104 United States troops from the First regiment of Infantry accompanied the expedition so aid in guarding tbe land ing of tb valuable cargo and will, If necessary, penetrate Into the Interior far enough to place the supplies In the hands of the Insurgents. The -expedition Is In charge of Captain W. H. Dorst, General Miles' akle, who has Just returned from Cuba. The Gussle has on board between 11,000 and 7,000 Springfield rides, about 200,000 rounds of ammunition aitd sev eral hundred boxes of provisions, con sisting principally of caaned meats and hard tack. The utmost secrery Is maintained regarding the point of land ing, but In view of Captain Donrt's re cent landing near Havana, wbeTe he communicated with the insargent leader, (Jenerul Delgado, it Is believed that the expedition will te headed fur a point not far from Havana.

DON CAKL0S BITTER. The Freteader Vigorously Aaaalls the Spaalaa Government Leaders. Brussels, May 10. Don Carlos, the Spanish' pretender. In the course of a long Interview, said: "When I left Venice about the middle of April I had In contemplation a desperate and un questionably hasardous enterprise, un likely perhaps to further my own dynastic Interests, but sure to force the hands of the cowardly officials who are shrinking from 4he responsibility of upholding vl et armls the intensity of the Spanish dominions. The declara tion of war made me pause. I found myself Imperatively constrained to await events. Up to the present these have proved disastrous. The Incidents In Cuba and Manila have revealed neg lected defenses, venal administration, a prevalent substitution of personal for national Interests, corruption fostered by party government, generously voted millions diverted from the fulfilment of their patriotic purpose to the pockets ef fraudulent contractors and dishonest state employes, and disorder, pecula tion, mendactly In every department in the public service. "The queen regent has been a mere puppet In the hands of Incompetent and self seeking ministers. She has prlved herself a fond mother, but a fee ble queen. Being a foreigner she failed to understand the Spanish character, and sounded the wrong note. She should have exhorted the Spaniards to rally round Spain, and not round Alfonso." TO BE MOVED SOUTH.

' . Brlanka Pfananta, Armed With Hay Forks, on Their Way to Milan. Milan. May 10. Calm reigns again, though for the lost two days this city has been In the throes of revolution, 1 with all Its horrors and all Its sadness. Certain quarters today present a scene of complete devastation. In others, the quietness of terrorism reigns, and this Is the more striking when contrasted In the mind of the spectator with the scenes of Sunday and the day before, when, above the shrieks of the dying, rose the wails of the widows, and or phans, the hoarse words of command and the Irresistible tramp of soldiers, i followed by the terrible boom of can non. When the fury first broke out, many ! people who wanted nothing to do with the movement were caught, as It were. In a trap. Here Is an Instance: When the soldiers were advancing to the , charge against the first barricade In the Via Torino, a lady, young, richly , dressed dressed and stiff with terror,, was struck by a bullet In the breast. She fell against the wall, only having time to exclalme "Mother" before dy-) Ing. In the same way old people, un-1 able to resist the rush, were shot oi trampled under foot. At another point, a fine carriage, with horses wild with fright, was stop ped by the mob, and Its occupant, a IbHv m fi, roit.lv remnvori anrf wi i to find her way home an best Bhe could. The carriage was used to carry the wounded to the hospital. At the ren-' tral station the engine drivers and, guards refused to leave their families to the meny of the mob. However.' after a delay of 40 minutes, the troops obliged them to go on with tho trains. The fighting was In real earnest, and the soldiers were received as foreign Invaders. Pools of blood were seen In the street, and often also the m'attnr ed hralns ot the killed. Tbe Tteil rns service organized Its members, wear ing the badge, and succored the wounded ami dying. Many people had exceedingly narrow escaes, the firing coming Just as the schools had closed at noon. Parents TUsbed about In an agnny of pain. Th wotnen, Instead of restraining th men. egged them on 4o greater excesses an.1 even allowed their children to partici pate. Some even pushed themselves under the notes of the soldiers, crying. "Cowards!" "Asaapulns!" "We work all day to snalntaln you In Idleness." and raising similar pretests. When the mob Invaded the Centra! railway station the express for Turin was Jurt on the point of leaving. The rioters when they saw It cried: "Look' look! They are going to Turin for the fetes of the Jubilee of the constitution. They are going to enjoy themselves. Shame! shame! Come hack! come back!" and so on. Meanwhile th train odvanred. but very slowly, and hundreds of people threw themselves upon the track m front of the engine, screaming: "Come on! but over our bodies.'" A very noticeable point throughout the two days' fighting has been that the worklngman element, although without adequate means, offensive anil defensrre. has shown extraordinary tactical knowledge, a proof, among others, that organisation existed and that preparations hail been made, per haps not for an explosion now, but at the first opportune moment. Thirteen barricades were built by the mob at the Corso (laribaldi. where this main street Is Intersected by others, forming a small square.

The larger vessels of Admiral Sampson's fleet have left the blockade of Cuba to smaller vessels, and the ad miral and his ships have gone off on a secret mission, presumably to occupy Porto Rico or some Cuban port.
